Green Turquoise Filigree Cuff Bracelet, Sterling & 800 Silver

Gorgeous Persian cuff with shining sterling silver structure and intricate .800 silver filigree details. Each panel features a single green turquoise stone set with prongs created by individual filigree loops. The loops overlap to form a lattice, securing and embellishing the stone. This is a beautiful, well balanced bracelet. Six full panels linked and finished with a tapered panel at each end for a total of eight panels. The detail, and in particular the fine setting given to each stone, requires a great deal more skill and attention than similar pieces made later in the 20th century. This piece was likely created much earlier, nearer the turn of the century, and offered to well-heeled travelers completing their Grand Tour with a stop in the exotic Middle East. Each full panel measures 22 mm from top to bottom and 25 mm parallel to the length. The bracelet appears to be in beautiful condition with the only wear showing in one single missing loop in the setting of one stone. The overall length is 7.75 inches and the weight is 27 grams. This piece was hand polished with soft brushes to clean the filigree; No corrosive solvents or dips were used. 17031295
